To "jade"

possibilities;
colors as many as feelings,
yet,I "jade" you.

*Jade ring (or translated to "Yuhuan" in Chinese) is a symbol of eternal and everlasting love.

  2. Ah! You have me reading and re-reading your poem! I know that "I 'jade' you" should mean, I love you but because of the ay sound, I feel like it should be an obscured was of saying "I hate you." Especially since being jaded isn't necessarily a positive thing in English. So, is it double entendre? Are you commenting on how love and hate can be intertwined? Nice word play. You made this reader think!

  6. Hi Nimue,

    This is a very intriguing Haiku to which we do have to wonder in which of the feelings you have applied the word "jade". I think it can be used in as many possible ways as there are colors. I love anything that makes us "think".

    Happy Theme Thursday, and have a fantastic weekend.

    God bless.
